Look how they massacred his boy.
Instead, she put herself in the hot seat and correctly guessed that Shane is related toMarlon Brando.
So would Brando, whodied in 2004 at age 80, have enjoyed watching his grandson on reality TV?

ENTERTAINMENT WEEKLY: You had people stumped right up until the very end.
What were some of your favorite wrong guesses you heard for your celebrity relative?

SHANE:When I heard people saying Forest Whitaker, I was like, that’s so far off.
I felt like people got a little nervous to even pursue who I might be related to.
Kudos to the show for putting me and Dedrick in the same house and just watching that develop.
That must have been hilarious.
I don’t think we’d ever really met unless in passing.
But spending time at Neverland was honestly a blessing.
It is probably one of the most enjoyable experiences that I’ve ever been able to have.
You also told a great story about having dinner with Elizabeth Taylor.
They welcomed us in and they were a beautiful bunch of people.
Do you think your grandpa would have enjoyed watchingClaim to Fameand seeing your game play?
And I’m sitting there, I’m just like, is he just messing with me?
I don’t understand.
Is he messing with the family?
My grandpa being my grandpa, nobody’s going to say, “Hey gramps, unmute the TV.
We’re watching this.”
He didn’t want to hear the music, he didn’t want to hear the dialogue.
He was like, can I believe this in real time with no sound?
And then eventually he’d unmute it and we just missed five minutes of the movie.

There is an upcomingbiopic about your grandpa starring Billy Zane.
Has your family been involved with that at all or have you seen it?
And I think they may have reached out to him, but we’re not super involved.
Tell me more about your fried chicken necklace that you wore on the show.
What does that represent for you?
I first wore it as a joke.
I go to a lot of music festivals and concerts.
I like to wear it to those.
It’s a good conversation starter.
Since I had the response, I started my own chicken on a chain company called Feeling Crispy.
What else is next for you?
Being on the show has probably been one of the better experiences of my entire life.
I had so much fun.
I want to do more.
I’ve been looking at other shows that I could see myself being on, all competitive.
What would be your top pick?
It would probably be eitherThe TraitorsorThe Mole.
Who of the remaining three contestants do you think most deserves to win and why?
Honestly, at this point, everybody’s been playing a really good game.
I would just say not Adam.
But no, Mackenzie [because she] got me out.
I need to go back to your Adam comment because he has been divisive in the fandom.
People really can’t figure out if he’s maybe playing dumb and secretly pulling the strings all along.
He’s not a stupid man.
He has a lot to offer.
He just had not much to offer in the game, so it was kind of fun.
